Autumn Apple Pie Swap & A Giveaway

Filed under Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Newsletters, Sale, Swaps

A big, newsy newsletter with pretty Autumn (from falling leaves to picking apples) and cooking-inspired supplies, a new swap (more on that later) and announcing a related “Kitschy Kitchen Giveaway.”

Apples/Apple Pie

Autumn Apples Collage Sheet
All kinds of images of apples, from ads, children’s books and vintage postcards.

Polymer Clay Apple (and Crown) Slices
Very tiny, thin apple or crown slices. A bit flexible. Used in the snippet of an ATC (also using the Autumn Apples Collage Sheet) by Design Team Member Teri Calia.

Brass Apple Charms
Approx. 1/2″ wide.

Bee’s Knees Scrapbook Paper
Double-sided 12×12″ cardstock sheet with a retro print of cherries (or are those apples?) against lime green polka dots (with kind of an awning stripe pattern on the back).

Kitschy Kitchen Tag Collection
Printed manila tags in fun floral, checkerboard and cherry patterns (in ’50s colors). 8 designs (repeated twice in 2 sizes: 4 x 2-1/2″ and 2-1/2 x 1-1/2″). Included in the Giveaway in the sidebar above.

Kitschy Kitchen Retro Recipe Cards
Recipe cards in fun floral, checkerboard and cherry patterns (in ’50s colors). 2 each of 12 designs.

Kittens & Pie Collage Sheet
These have been a long time coming. I have so many vintage books of kittens (Three Little Kittens, Puss in Boots, etc.) I never get around to scanning them as the task seems so large. But here (and below) is a start.

“A Apple Pie” Collage Sheet
I have a few different vintage copies of this children’s rhyme. My favorite title being, “The Tragical Death of A, Apple Pye Who was Cut in Pieces and Eat by Twenty-Five Gentlemen with whom All Little People Ought to be Very Well Acquainted” (1770).

Musical Pie Collage Sheet
Here are a few versions of ‘The Three Little Kittens’ with sheet music (and this stern mama cat with the caption, “No! You shall have no pie!”). The lyrics vary… most begin with:

Three little kittens
they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry…

Miss Manners Scrapbook Paper
A beautiful design of china patterns, silverware, calligraphy and strawberries on a teal blue background. A fun gingham check tablecloth pattern is on the back.

Learning Curve Scrapbook Paper Set
